Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup oat flour or almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 to 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
- Pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or butter for the pan
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, eggs, flour, baking powder, vanilla, lemon zest, honey or maple syrup if using, and salt to a bowl.
- Stir or blend until the mixture looks smooth and fully combined.
- Fold in the blueberries gently so they stay whole and do not streak the batter too much.
- Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each mini pancake and drop it into the skillet.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom turns golden and the top starts to set.
- Flip each bite carefully and cook the other side until it becomes golden brown and fluffy.
- Transfer to a plate and serve warm. Add extra honey or syrup if you like a sweeter finish.
Notes
- Almond flour works well when you want a lower-carb version.
- Frozen blueberries are fine, though they may tint the batter a little.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
